As many of you already know, our family is going through an tremendously difficult time. My dad, Cesar, was rushed to the ICU after an acute pulmonary infection and remained there for a month fighting for his life.

During his stay, his condition worsened—he developed a generalized infection and multiple other complications. Despite all efforts and prayers, he sadly passed away and we lost a loving father and an wonderful person.

He did not have health insurance because they had just moved back to Peru after living in Brazil for 34 years, and the hospital bills have become overwhelming. We’ve tried everything we can to manage the costs, but the amount is still far beyond what we can handle.

We are asking for your help and any contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference and help us honor his memory without the added stress of debt.

In my family’s name I really appreciate everybody’s kindness, support, and prayers during this time.
